Sounds to me that GM has come to the realization that if they're gonna price it like a luxury car, it might as well be a luxury car.
Hopefully someone will realize there is a market for a no frills, very light, very efficient and reasonably cheap series hybrid. Use a sonic body. Keep it as light as possible and simple. No complicated parallel drive. A 500 cc 2 cylinder engine. Keep it light enough and it wouldn't require a ginormous expensive battery pack to give it a 30 mile range.
